Virginia Tech ranked 18th best college football program of the 2000s by The Athletic

Who's the best college football program of the 2000's? Ranking the top 25

Kinda wild to not have Bama at 1, but I guess I see their methodology if they are favoring consistency throughout. The Saban era didn't start until 2007 and they didn't win a natty until 2009, so that would skew the whole first decade of the 2000's against them.

As a Hokie fan it's nice to see our name in the top 25, but it also stings a bit knowing how far we've fallen since.
